Plunging into veins to dull the sickness
Flowing from the burial ground of inertia
I don't care, I can't care
Shrouded under veils I've built from self-contempt
Given bow to earthly cares and slip away
All by myself I found a way out

Cruel life; disconnected and alone, compels escape
Seeking out comfort from broken ends
Without love; look for a way to distract these damaged minds
Cruel life; despair suffocating our cries

Plugged into a screen to find my purpose
Unable to manifest interaction
Barrier to human care
Hidden behind walls that no finger could touch
False connection selling short our true reason
All by ourselves; losing direction

Cruel life; disconnected and alone, compels escape
Seeking out comfort from broken ends
Without love; look for a way to distract these damaged minds
Cruel life; disconnected and alone

We've grown apart and lost a sense of ourselves
Replaced with foreign entities
The chemicals manufactured to be defected congruency

Cruel life; disconnect and alone
These fractured forms of sympathy
Fools eyes, searching for remnants of home
Are looking for a swift release

I know the pain of the chase like the back of my own hand
A hollow hole in a place that oceans of guilt could fill
I looked myself in the face; a stranger stared back at me
I've lived a life of escape from feelings I tried to kill

But every tunnel has been graced with a light
Every warmth had its chill
You aren't bound to the promise you made to yourself
Forgive the folly of being human
